Chapter 16: The Courage to Start Over Again
But even so, the man's mother died a week ago.
During the treatment process, the cost is too high.
The man insisted on treatment, but it drained the family's savings. After weighing the pros and cons, his wife chose to divorce him.
Not only that, she even threw away the baby in her belly that was only three months old.
After taking care of his mother's funeral, the man looked at the empty house without any reluctance.
I just felt discouraged, as if there was no purpose in living.
So, he chose to jump into the river today when it was dark and no one was around.
He thought that since life was so miserable, he might as well go down and reunite with his mother.
This way, the mother and son can have company.
His mother just left. If he goes down now, he should be able to catch up with her.
After hearing what the man said, Jiang Xin fell into silence for a long time.
Every family has its own problems.
The man's experience is indeed heartbreaking and sympathetic.
Now he is all alone, which is really pitiful.
Moreover, during the questioning just now, Jiang Xin learned that this man was only 28 years old this year, and he had actually suffered such a blow.
His wife and children were separated and both his parents died.
His hair, which should have been black, was now a white color that did not suit his age.
well.
Jiang Xin has never been good at comforting others. She is not good at speaking and can't persuade others at all.
Moreover, she had lived in the apocalypse for many years and had long forgotten how to get along with strangers.
So, the job of comforting people is really very difficult for her.
But at this moment, this man really needs someone to comfort him and help him change his mentality of seeking death.
Only when you have hope for life can you have the courage to live.
So, Jiang Xin hesitated for a while, but still spoke up:
"Um... please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. If your mother in the underworld saw you in this state, she would be sad too."
"Only if you live well can your mother die in peace."
"Besides, didn't your previous wife abandon you?"
"If that's the case, then you have to fight for your dignity and live your life to show her! Let her see your upright side, and make her regret choosing to divorce you in the first place!"
"Instead of living like a zombie, lifeless like now."
"You are only 28 years old this year. What is there to worry about at such a good age? The most abundant thing in life is the courage to start all over again."
"Do you want your mother, even after she passes away, to still worry about you in the underworld?"
After Jiang Xin said several words, she saw that the man was still unmoved and looked lifeless.
She was anxious, gritted her teeth, and used her trump card. When she said the last sentence, she specifically mentioned the man's mother.
She thought that this man had lost his will to live because of his mother's death.
In that case, he must attach great importance to his mother in his heart.
That's why Jiang Xin said that.
The man was encouraged by using his deceased mother to stand up.
Sure enough, after Jiang Xin finished speaking, the man looked at her suddenly.
But he didn't say a word and just stared at Jiang Xin.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
Jiang Xin felt uneasy seeing this and she licked her lips uncomfortably.
Jiang Xin thought that the words of persuasion she had just said were the result of racking her brains.
If this man still can't get over it after listening to her, then she really has no other choice.
When the two of them were deadlocked for a long time, the man finally spoke. His voice was very hoarse, and he only said three words:
"Thank you."
Then they fell into silence again.
Jiang Xin looked up at the sky helplessly.
She thought to herself, Brother, don't thank me. As long as you don't commit suicide, it doesn't matter if I don't say thank you.
She just wanted to get home quickly now.
The sky was getting darker and darker.
Jiang Xin had just gone into the water to save a man, and at this moment, all her clothes were soaked.
At night, a cool breeze blows.
Plus, she was wearing wet clothes, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Not only is it cold, it's also sticky against the skin.
Now, Jiang Xin just wants to go back and change her clothes.
Besides, it was dark now, and you never knew when someone would come out for a walk in the village. What if he recognized her when he passed by?
See her, sitting here with a strange man.
Well, she couldn't explain it even if she had a hundred mouths.
Besides, because of the incident with Fu Yu, her reputation in the village was not very good.
If someone saw it at that time, I'm afraid no one would believe that she had just saved someone.
I just think that Jiang Xin is cheating on me and that’s why she lied.
So, in order to avoid misunderstandings and get yourself into trouble.
The sooner she leaves this troubled place, the better.
Therefore, Jiang Xin hurriedly said:
"Don't thank me. As long as you don't want to die, that's better than anything else."
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth. My home is in this village, and my family asked me to get home before dark."
"It's already so dark now. If I go back later, I'm sure I'll be scolded."
"If you have come to your senses, leave here immediately. Otherwise, I won't be able to go home without worry."
"Although we have never met before, it is fate that we met. I cannot watch a living person like you disappear before my eyes."
Jiang Xin was halfway through her words, thinking about what to say next.
The man opposite her seemed to see that Jiang Xin was anxious to go home, so he spoke again:
"Don't worry and go home. I've thought it through and I won't be so determined to die anymore."
"It's better to live a miserable life than to die. You are right."
Although Jiang Xin heard the man's promise, she was still a little worried.
Maybe this man wanted to trick me into leaving, and after she left, he turned around and jumped. What should I do?
Then, wouldn't it be a waste of time to save her?
Jiang Xin thought about it, and took a vague look at the man in front of her in the moonlight.
It was probably because the family’s financial resources were used up in order to treat his mother’s illness, and the family’s financial situation became difficult, so they were not able to eat enough.
Coupled with the death of relatives and his wife's betrayal, he was in a bad mood.
That's why this man is extremely thin.
He is obviously an adult male, but he is skin and bones.
Jiang Xin couldn't imagine what he had been going through these days.
